Jessica and Ashlee Simpson's dad, Joe Simpson, has reportedly become a paparazzi to make some side cash and to influence how his daughters are portrayed in the media.

According to sources who've had recent dealings with him, Simpson has a tight working arrangement with WireImage, the mega-agency and wire service that rules the red-carpet at nearly every high-profile event in the western hemisphere. On several occasions, a camera-wielding Simpson has gone toe-to-toe with other snappers for shots of his own daughters, then approved only his own images for distribution through WireImage. At other times, he has provided the agency with exclusive (and even racy) shots of his daughters on family getaways or in other putatively private moments. Needless to say, other photographers aren't happy. One recalled being invited to cover an event sponsored by Jessica's record label, Epic, only to find her shots blocked again and again by Joe and his Nikon. "I thought it was really odd that he was always in my way, since I was the one who was paid to be there shooting," she says. Though the freelancer did manage to get some clean shots, Joe's were the only ones WireImage deemed worthy of being distributed.

Ugh, he is getting really out of hand. This isn't good for the girls' careers either. They always say that crazy stage parents end up destroying their children's careers because no one wants to deal with the insane parent.

What does he need the money for anyway? Jessica is huge right now and I'm sure Joe is getting a hefty amount of it

I just think the man needs a hobby. Obviously he's very into his daughters careers and loves them dearly. But I have a feeling he's the kind of parent that must dominate your life because they think they know whats best for you. It's always great to have parents try and guide you in life to their best beliefs but I'm pretty sure papa jo is the captain of his girls ships. One thing for sure is that Jessica's celebrity status did not jet off until Joe quit ministering and took over managing her. So he must be doing something right.

Their father has replaced his faith in the Lord with the love of money, which is the root of all evil. He has replaced holiness with horniness. Jessica and Ashlee will reap the dismal crops they are sowing. Their breasts will sag and their faces will wither and they will be left with nothing but a hollow shell. They don't represent American standards and certainly not Christian standards

That tops eternitygoddess's comment in terms of making me laugh like a hyena.

Excellent. Comedy genius. Thanks brokenenglish for sharing.

I never got over how Papa Joe said how 'sexy my daughters are' and 'how they have great tits'. That's just all kinds of wrong.

Why is Joe Simpson allowed in the country but Roman Polanski isn't I wonder....double standard. >_>;

Seriously though I don't even understand why Jessica is famous, she is average looking and can't sing a note to save her life. The fact that her father is mentally disturbed just makes her fame even worse.
